Product Description

A volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series (Series Editors: Michael J. Aminoff, Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, USA; François Boller, Bethesda, USA; Dick F. Swaab, Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) on disorders of consciousness. This volume is aimed at neurologists and all those involved with the care of patients with altered levels of consciousness. Emphasis is given to distinguishing reversible disorders from the irreversible and disorders requiring medical treatment from those requiring neurosurgical management. The technological advances in neuroimaging and how this has affected the understanding of the neurological basis of consciousness and the approach to the patient with an altered level of consciousness is covered, as are the resulting ethical issues.
